At Oroboros Instruments we use the publication from Prof. Tretters OROBOROS MiPNet Reference Laboratory as a starting point for our development.

Substances incompatible with the Amplex Red method

The following substances/ classes of substances are strictly incompatible with the Amplex Red method for theoretical reasons:

  • strongly redox active substances, e.g. cytochrome c, TMPD/Ascorbate
  • inhibitors of horseradish peroxidase, see horseradish peroxidase
  • catalase and other substances consuming H2O2. The effect of substances in the medium that consume H2O2 slowly is taken account of by the calibration procedure. However, such substances will decreases the sensitivity of the method.

The effect of other substances should be checked by blank experiments, including comparing the sensitivity (result of calibration) before and after injecting the substances. In preliminary experiments Oroboros Instruments got indications that small amounts (as typically used in SUIT protocols) of the following substances are compatible with the method:

DMSO, ethanol, malate, glutamate, pyruvate, succinate, (ADP + Mg2+), (ATP + Mg2+), rotenone, FCCP, oligomycin, antimycin A, malonate, myxothiazol
